remember how you'd try so hard to get people to care about not turning the codebase into a mess and there were always these lazy fucks who had some dumbass excuse for not trying?
yeah this is just them again
guy who glues numpy functions together in jupyter notebook: "yeah code never mattered"
For what it's worth, in my experience, everyone is dropping the ball somewhere to make that work.
Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force.
Danish Defense Minister: Continue.
My job is cybersecurity compliance consulting. The client really wants to replace me with an LLM.
The biggest risk in my (self-employed job) is that they will convince themselves they can.
The biggest risk in their compliance efforts is also that they will convince themselves they can.
Maybe the original sin was turning it off and turning it back on again
it is true: the more other people posit wild about how they think things work, the more valuable it seems to have someone who merely knows anything about the subject and does actually know how they really work
Car infrastructure is evil. Roads are the paradigmatic example of spending that is not only wasteful but actively harmful, and yet somehow also always the paradigmatic example of why large government budgets are necessary
Onfim’s drawing of himself on horseback as a warrior defeating an enemy.
Two of Onfim’s works. On the left is a copy of a passage from the Book of Psalms he did for schoolwork. On the right is an apparently autobiographical depiction of a monster labeled with “I am a wild beast.”
Some more spelling practice by Onfim with some human figures who have round heads and varying numbers of fingers on their big hands.
Onfim’s writing practice accompanied by 7 little people in his particular drawing style, who tend to have very big hands with many fingers.
Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.
everything is increasingly intolerable all the time.
That's honestly rad. Congratulations!
It is necessary to seek standards docs. MDN is nice. There is no path to happiness that doesn't involve reading.
This is like suspending Santa Claus, it’s almost certainly an incorrect action on its face and all you’re gonna do is make everyone mad at you on behalf of Santa Claus because they like him
"Not in the Epstein files" is going in my LinkedIn
I said FULL employment.
"The sectarian looks upon life as a great school with himself as a teacher there", and that seems like a good description of characterising normie libs flocking to activism as ignorant nuisances which ruin things.

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression.
CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school?
DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town.
C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name?
DR: Now look
I mean I'm sorry but why would you say this
This is some weird shit
Holy fuck this looks like shit
my increasingly curmudgeonly take is that we all, in fact, have responsibilities. politics isn't an arena for self-actualization. it's an arena for public service. this is as true of voters as it is of politicians.
this is a fake problem. no one is saying this to regular, offline people who are coming around. they’re saying it to people who are engaged in professional political analysis who committed professional malpractice by scolding people who saw what was coming.
no, those people shouldn’t get a break.
And it helps ICE do this if people are outraged that they're murdering white people?
I mean this is great and all but how does this change the big picture one iota?
the "and you're surprised by this?" guys have never been less vital than they are right now
Why is Dem leadership not on the ground in MN? If the answer is “polls show Trump’s disapproval is only -15 on deportations, but -25 on prices,” thats a Bad Use Of Polling and a complete failure in their capacity as leaders to lead public opinion and fight for democracy and the rule of law
Yeah, it's like they completely misunderstand her as competition for them. She's interesting because she is AI. There's not an audience for somebody that does what she does but isn't AI. And I don't think somebody else could just build an AI streamer that would be as popular.
People who say this are clearly speaking aspirationally about a shared American creed they hold dear. “Have you heard of the Trail of Tears?” is not a very helpful response, because they probably have and the priority right now is moral opposition to fascism and not fake-educating each other.
i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory
